I joined Lemmy a few days ago and have been reading around. 90%+ of the content I see, even on non-politics related communities, is political in some way. I have no interest in that, so it’s tiring, especially when it’s inserted in the comments of completely unrelated posts.
Well there are a lot of factors, and there are plenty of Niche communities you could pay attention to more often, but the most overwhelmingly significant factor is that shits really fucking bad right now. Like yeah we all wish we could live in a in a time where politics was boring and not life-threatening but that’s not how the world is at the moment. You just can’t escape reality. But you have to physically ignore things to try to remove politics from your world. I don’t even know how it’s possible, everything is being touched right now by politics, everything.
Unfortunately the vast majority of us are not privileged enough to be able to ignore politics in our lives.
